The Unofficial British Royal
Family Pages

The author of the Unofficial British Royal Family pages, moved from the Netherlands to the United
Kingdom in December 1993. She soon became intrigued by the fascination of the British with
their royal family and tried to find out why this fascination existed. In her search for
information she came across a webpage on the internet from a company called Bedetech,
which had almost daily updated news headlines regarding the British royal family.

At the same time Geraldine was looking for something useful to put on her
web pages. She wanted to move beyond the basic homepage information of 'hi, this is who I
am, this is where I live etc.' and she wanted to make a contribution to the internet
community by using her web space and bandwidth in a way which people would appreciate and
enjoy.

When Bedetech stopped providing the daily headlines, Geraldine took over.
First she only offered the daily updated headlines. But people from all over the world
started to send her email with questions about the British royal family. Initially she
replied to each individual, but she soon noticed that she received a lot of the same kind
of questions, so she expanded her website with the information people requested. What you
are looking at now is the result of a few years hard work and research.

In December 1998 Geraldine moved back to the Netherlands, but her interest
in the British royal family hasn't waned so she will continue to update these pages and
add new ones!

The Unofficial British Royal Family pages are non-commercial. No money is
made from these pages and no money will ever be asked from those who wish to visit the
pages. The information on these pages is maintained and updated in Geraldine's spare time,
and she does have a full time job as well! So please be patient when updates are not daily
or when some information is outdated. Just send her an email at and
she'll get back to you!
